The Green ICT Programme fosters sustainable growth and value creation within the Estonian business sector by promoting innovation and collaboration between Estonia and Norway. Funded by Norway Grants, this initiative focuses on enhancing green industry innovation, ICT, and Welfare Technology through bilateral cooperation.
With a total investment of 19.8 million euros during its latest programming period, the program has supported over 90 Estonian-Norwegian cooperation projects, aiming to strengthen long-term business partnerships and drive innovation for shared economic and environmental benefits.
Be a part of the culmination at the “Green ICT” final event, where best practices converge with bilateral developments. Engage in workshops and embark on site visits to Estonian companies, providing a firsthand look at the strides made in Green Innovation, ICT and Welfare Technologies.
The event is primarily tailored for Green ICT project promoters and their partners. However, it also welcomes other companies interested in exploring bilateral partnerships, networking opportunities, and staying at the forefront of Green Innovation, ICT and Welfare Technologies.
Don’t miss this opportunity to connect, learn, and contribute to the future of sustainable collaboration. Join us at the “Green ICT” final event!
